Spring is actually not right around the corner, like it is for some of you. We have a good two months before buds are blooming and the threat of snow is gone. Tonight and tomorrow they are saying 8" - 16" of snow.

Oh Well.

We have had it easy, we have had four days of teasingly warm weather, which makes me dream of Spring. I was playing on the computer this morning...I tell Mr. Miller that I am Working on my computer...

Creating isn't really work, but productivity is considered work to him, and as I was feeling very productive... a good days work it will be.

I am really into black and white these days so I decided to start with a chalkboard background.

The one shown above and my Farmer's Market are the two I like the best.

Because of this ultra fast mind thing, I believe there is a need for Lists.

____

There are mental lists, lists on paper, lists on the phone, iPad, computer and of course the old post-it note. Everywhere and anywhere is my latest list.

You will not understand "the list" if you, yourself, are not a list person.

Mr Miller, for one, is not a list maker. He does not understand why I, or anyone for that matter, has a need to make a list.

... if you get-it you get-it, if you don't you don't.

Once upon a time, when time was really short, I worked full time at the hospital, ran the shop full time and tried to be creative on the side.... along with having a family and a so called social life...

Back then I had a private little list of what I wanted to accomplish if I didn't have all these things going on. The list was tucked away ... close, but not ready to present itself. As you know, It has been over a year since I closed the brick and mortar shop and things have been a little quiet on my end. A little Instagram and a little Facebook but not much else happening. As of the last couple weeks, the other parts of my life have settled in and I have found myself searching for more.

So just recently, my private list of things that were on hold, has surfaced.

The first thing on the list is to upgrade my camera...I haven't purchased it yet, but I have researched and finally made my decision. That in itself took some time and learning to use a new camera is a big step for me. The second, is buying and learning a new photo editor system.
I am playing with it daily and I am having so much fun.
Why I didn't do this years ago....
I hope you noticed and like the new blog header.... did it all by myself !
...so proud !!
Also, the advertisement card, showing the new Farmhouse Series.
I think I like the blue boarder.

I'm so excited.
I need to go play some more while I have this hour of free time.

Lori Miller, Owner and Author

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. My brick and mortar shop was housed in a large round barn, hence the name of my company RBPCo. I have recently closed the brick and mortar shop but my mind continues to create. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at loriatthebarn@ymail.com
